CBSE Class X results declared late on Monday

Schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in Bangalore were taken unawares with the board announcing results of Class X for Chennai Region late on Monday evening.

In fact, many of the school authorities got to know of the announcement only after queries by the media and said they were not intimated earlier by the board.

However, as the consolidated results were sent to the school email IDs, school authorities said access to results was easy.
